Three hours and ten minutes via the standard route. Hoarfrost was everywhere from the saddle on up and visibility from start to summit was never more than fifty meters in any direction. It might have been a few degrees above zero but the wind chill was definitely below -10. After Wheeler I decided Bald Peak looked interesting and bagged that too, for just under a seven hour day.

Great Basin is a beautiful National Park and there's no better way to experience it than the hike up Wheeler Peak. Relatively easy hike that gets a little steep towards the end. Made it to the summit in 2:10 and descended in a little under 2 hrs.

Drove from Lamoille (after climbing Ruby Dome the day before) and got on the trail by 11:30. Up and back in five hours. Breezy. Even though it was a Friday, the trail had a couple of dozen people on it, most coming down from the peak. The campground was full (and noisy late into the night).

Even with snowshoes, there was lots of postholing from the start to the summer TH due to a recent storm. Above Stella Lake, we were able to ditch the snowshoes and move to crampons which was nice. We climbed the chute just east of the ridge that the summer trail follows. Weather was great and winds weren't too bad for February.

Started from the Wheeler Peak Campground and hiked with AKB and RDB. Very windy, but fantastic day. The trail to the peak could be more direct, but a nice hike. Saw a flock of about 15 male wild turkeys and a few females with young ones along the way. Easy peak that kids can do.

Kessler wasn’t feeling well, so he didn’t make it very far up the trail. Kim, Shaylee, my dad, and I climbed Wheeler Peak on a very sunny and warm day. It was a beautiful climb and we spent quite a bit of time on time,

On the way down, I also did a side trip and climbed Bald Mountain. The rest of the group went straight to the campsite. Climbing Bald Mountain with Wheeler Peak made a good all day trip.

Started hiking up at midnight during a clear night with no moon in sight. The winds on the ridge were fierce and I had to really dig in to keep moving forward, the altitude didn't help either since I was at sea level hours ago. Luckily I made it to the top, and it is completely worth hiking in the dark! The sky was absolutely stunning! It's like I could see the entire universe! Unfortunately what took away a little from this experience was the brutal cold at night with 30-50 mph gusts. It was hard going to sleep since my sleeping bag wasn't very good at keeping me warm on the summit. It was worth watching the sunrise from the peak, though, it was one of the best sunrises I've ever seen. My plan was to hit Jeff Davis and Baker Peak that day but the cold the altitude and my heavy pack really took it's toll even so carrying those binoculars up was worth the extra weight. All in all though, definitely a hike worth doing at night.

Elevation started kicking my trash around 12,500', but I persevered! 2:20 from trailhead to summit. What a way to celebrate America -- gorgeous day on a beautiful mountain. Summer squall was refreshing, too.

Used the Summit Trail from the parking lot. Stopped at nearby Stella Lake, went to the top of the ridge just below treeline. Trail is composed entirely of rocks from this point. Beautiful wildflowers, altitude starting kicking my ass around 12,000 feet. Reached the summit at noon, three hours after we started. Cloudy day but visibility was excellent, views from the top are absolutely breathtaking!

Arrived day before, camped at Wheeler Peak campground at 10,000 feet. Drove back to main trailhead and started out at 6:00am. At about 6:20am a mountain lion ran across the trail, no more than 20 yards in front of me, and continued down into meadow. It was right by a fenced-in area for a water station. After this, trip was not remarkable. Reached summit at 9:30am. Got back to trailhead at 12:30. Only one small patch of snow left to cross near summit, not a big deal, no crampons needed. So 6.5 hour round trip. Great trail, well marked. Parents with smaller kids should watch out for the mountain lion & stay with the group and make noise in the wooded section. Rangers said there have been four sightings that month. They are out at dawn and dusk to hunt mostly I think.

Outstanding area, climbed with foo-foo bear, fun climb and snow on summit!! Continued on to summit Jeff Davis peak. Loved GBNP and this trip was followed by a delightful tour of some Nevada hot springs!

Took the standard route up with my friend Brian after a couple days of eating nothing but apples, salami, crackers, and beer. Had the peak to ourselves. The snowpack was far lower than it was in July of 2011.

An exhausting ascent in soft snow. Lots of post-holing even while wearing snowshoes. Wind on the ridgeline was fierce. Summit log indicated only one other winter ascent since November 2014. Views at the top were absolutely spectacular.
